Onboarding Foreign-Educated Nurses: Best Practices for Nurse Educators.

Abstract

For foreign-educated nurses (FEN) to effectively adapt to the complex healthcare system that exists in the United States, they need effective onboarding and integration into the workforce and community. A positive transition to practice promotes loyalty, confidence in clinical competence, and professional development. Using best practice guidelines in the literature, nurse educators can develop, implement, and evaluate transition programs for FEN practicing in the United States.
